Born in Liège in 1960, I soon moved to Madrid were I lived until I was 15 and attended the local french high school. I then moved to Rome, where I completed my education studying film at the professional state school ‘Roberto Rossellini’ and photography at the ‘European Institute of Design’. I started working as a camera operator in 1979. In 1982 and 1983 I worked in Lebanon with journalists Saville Ryan and Enzo Biagi covering the war.

Some of the feature films I worked on as a camera operator include: Two Brothers, by J.J. Annaud; Titus, by J. Taymor; Hudson Hawk, by M. Lehmann; Marquise, by V. Belmont; Excellent Cadavers, by R. Tognazzi for HBO; I have also worked on many commercials, including ones with G. Tornatore and W. Wenders. As a DP I have done several features: Moroccan Dream, by J. Belmejdoub; La Beautée éparpillée, by L. Zinoun; Ben Boulaid, by A. Rachedi; Black star, by F. Castellani And commercials, including: Maroc Telecom; La vache qui Rie; Rompetrol; Borotalco; Tantum Verde.
